Book: We finished “Walt Disney” by Bob Scollen and it was a treat. What an amazing life the man led! I am sure there was a lot left out since it was a juvenile book, but maybe that is for another time.
I finished reading Desires and Devices: A History of Contraceptives in America by Andrea Tone as well. It was written by a professor and done so eloquently. If you ever want to find a conspiracy or research in regards to contradicting our assumptions, this book would fit the bill. One example, for all of our advances the United States is still highest in pregnancy rates in people under 20 (only Hungary beats us). The entire last half of the book was on the pill and the Dalkon Shield failure. The failure resulted in a halt on research everywhere in order to keep from being sued into bankruptcy basically. (Maybe that’s why nothing really new has come out in like 30 years?) An interesting social history on the United States with great attention to detail into the fraud and deceit behind some of the studies done to move ahead in science and technology.
Recipe: No really good way to segue into a crustless quiche from that topic! Well, we had a ton of leftover delicious bestest ham ever from the holidays and made this quick quiche for dinner. YUM! Dinner, breakfast, brunch whatever! Use any meat you want, any veggie and any cheese. Maybe I should call it the “Whatever Crustless Quiche.” 🙂
